Need for Uncle

Chapter 28

Chapter 27 Business Idea
Feeling the slight warmth from his feet and the unique touch of those delicate little hands, Ma Xiaoshuai groaned comfortably, leaning against the back of the chair, with the corners of his mouth curled up, enjoying the thoughtfulness that only belonged to him.

"Sister-in-law, it's all right, go to bed and rest."

Dongfang Xueyu raised her head and smiled from the bottom of her heart. For her who was already easily satisfied, being able to serve her beloved, even if it was just washing their feet, was a happy thing.

Hearing this, Ma Xiaoshuai came back to his senses, also smiled at Dongfang Xueyu, turned around and lay down on the bed.

And Dongfang Xueyu also knew that Ma Xiaoshuai was really tired at this time, so after pouring a cup of hot tea and putting it on the side of the table, she stopped disturbing her. Hearing the slight and calm breathing sound, she was afraid of disturbing Ma Xiaoshuai, so she moved lightly He walked to the desk in the corner of the room and sat down, picked up the booklet and read it.

Ma Xiaoshuai, who was lying on the bed, was exhausted at this time, but he didn't intend to go to sleep. At this moment, he squinted his eyes slightly, and secretly relaxed his whole body. He just wanted to have a good rest. After all, Ergou told him to see Dongfang Mu , This is absolutely dare not to go, saying that I just took office today, the old man will definitely ask me some questions, and I still have some questions to ask.

Because Dongfang Xueyu in the corner of the room had been looking at the folder in his hand seriously, and hadn't spoken for a long time, the whole room was quiet for a long time, so Ma Xiaoshuai subconsciously looked for Dongfang Xueyu after he relaxed his mind a little.

The room wasn't that big, so I found Dongfang Xueyu with a slight turn of the head.

It's just that this girl is a little strange at this time, she doesn't seem to be reading a book, this can be seen from her obviously sad face, Ma Xiaoshuai can't help but feel a little puzzled when he sees this scene.

"Xueyu, what's wrong with you?"

"what?"

Before that, Dongfang Xueyu had been carefully looking at the folder in her hand, so she didn't notice that Ma Xiaoshuai was already sitting on the bed, watching her silently, when she heard the call, she was obviously startled.

"Sir, you frightened Xueyu."

"Uh……"

Ma Xiaoshuai looked at Dongfang Xueyu who kept beating his chest and still cast angry eyes, with a smile on his lips, he immediately got out of bed, picked up the shoes beside the bed and put them on.

"Sir, don't you take a break?"

Dongfang Xueyu put down the booklet as she spoke, and was about to come up to serve, but Ma Xiaoshuai waved his hand to stop him from coming. He was just a little tired and exhausted, and he was not terminally ill. How could he mobilize so many people? Miss the same.

Putting on his shoes, Ma Xiaoshuai walked to the desk, hugged Dongfang Xueyu from behind, with a smirk on his lips.

"Xueyu, what are you doing?"

Dongfang Xueyu struggled a little shyly, seeing that nothing worked, she gave up, but the flush on his face was enough to tell his shyness, although the two of them had completed the last obstacle last night and became husband and wife, but after all She is just a newcomer, she has only been a wife for a short time, and her body is still quite sensitive.

"Watching...looking at something."

Ma Xiaoshuai hugged his delicate body tightly with a smirk, smelling the faint body fragrance, he felt relaxed and happy.

"Oh? Really? Tell my husband, what are you looking at?"

"Yes... it's the family's account."

Dongfang Xueyu answered coyly, her whole body was unnatural, and the timid look she blushed and looked out of the door from time to time was indescribably attractive. It was still difficult for her to accept this kind of intimacy in broad daylight. of.

It's just that when Ma Xiashuai heard her answer, he stopped doing bad things.

"Accounts at home?"

Although Dongfang Xueyu doubted that Ma Xiaoshuai would stop, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and replied, "Yes, the family's accounts were originally managed by Wang Butler, but since last year, Wang Butler has handed over to Mr. I think it’s to avoid suspicion.”

Ma Xiaoshuai nodded, casually glanced at the densely packed account books, remembered Dongfang Xueyu's sigh before, and immediately asked: "Xueyu, is there something wrong with the accounts?"

"This... hey!"

Speaking of this, Dongfang Xueyu obviously sighed, and said: "Yes, there are indeed some financial problems at home recently."

Ma Xiaoshuai frowned slightly, wondering secretly, this Xiangguo Mansion is a big family no matter what, and Dongfang Mu is also expensive as a country's Xiangguo, with a high position and power, and his salary for a year is definitely not small. As for the family's expenses, it seems that except for the prodigal Other than the famous Dongfang Changlin, there is not much burden. Compared with the family who are also officials, the life in the Murong Mansion has always been frugal and poor, and they are extremely restrained in food and clothing. Even if they only rely on Dongfangmu's salary every year That's enough.

Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoshuai couldn't help asking.

"Xueyu, according to my opinion, the family's expenses are not too big, so where does this problem come from?"

Dongfang Xueyu changed into that distressed look again when she heard the words, and said, "Master, you don't know, originally, grandfather's annual salary is enough for the family's expenses, and there is a large piece of land distributed by the imperial court outside the city, Wang Steward has arranged for many farmers I could have made some money by planting some crops, but because my grandfather was kind and generous, he often did some things to help poor farmers, so the income was just a back and forth in the account room, and then went out again."

"Then... what about grandpa's salary?"

Dongfang Xueyu glanced outside the door at this time, and said in a low voice: "Master, you know my third uncle..."

"Oh, I know." Ma Xiaoshuai nodded, it seems reasonable to say so.

"Also, the two of us got married some time ago..." Dongfang Xueyu raised her head as she spoke, and glanced at Ma Xiaoshuai nervously. Seeing that the latter did not show any dissatisfaction, she cautiously continued, "Because Grandpa doesn't like giving gifts. One set, and I have always been wary of officials who give gifts on wedding occasions. When they got married, those officials and businesses sent gifts before deciding whether to accept them or not after careful consideration. So after a wedding event was held, the gift money was confiscated. On the contrary, a lot of silver taels were spent on the banquet of wine and drinks."

Hearing this, Ma Xiaoshuai couldn't help but feel a little bit sorry. After all, as a man, he didn't pay a cent for such a gentle and considerate wife, and also let his family fall into financial crisis. For him who is so strong, he really felt a little aggrieved.

Seeing Ma Xiaoshuai's distressed look, Dongfang Xueyu comforted her distressedly: "Sir, don't worry, this is only temporary, and it will pass after a while. As for this period of time, I will tell Steward Wang to shorten the expenditure as much as possible and pass. , I’m talking about Mr. Xiang, you’ll get your salary right away, and you’ll be fine.”

Hearing this, Ma Xiaoshuai sighed, and said: "I am such a small official, how much salary can I have? After all, it is not an option to blindly reduce the expenditure. Even if we are all willing to be poor, we still have to worry about grandpa's face. After all, a country is a country. My home is too shabby to justify."

Seemingly having been told what was on her mind, Dongfang Xueyu also fell silent here.

Ma Xiaoshuai lowered his head, secretly thinking about how to solve this matter. In fact, since he entered the Xiangguo Mansion, he didn't seem to have made any contribution to the mansion except for the heart attack caused by Dongfang Mu. The official position is only through Dongfang Mu's connection to get a chance to sit. Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoshuai felt a little guilty for Dongfang Mu and Dongfang Xueyu in his heart.

"Xueyu, leave this matter to me."

Ma Xiaoshuai raised his head suddenly, looked at Dongfang Xueyu with a surprised face, and said firmly: "As your husband-in-law, I have been at home for a while, and I have not made any contribution. Although this matter is a bit tricky, I believe I can do it well, don't worry about it, leave it to me."

Dongfang Xueyu caressed Ma Xiaoshuai's resolute face distressedly, surprisingly she didn't show any shyness.

"Sanggong, you still need to do your own things, so leave them to me, I have nothing to do anyway."

Ma Xiaoshuai shook his head and insisted: "No, you are a woman..."

"Is my husband looking down on our women?" Dongfang Xueyu turned her head away pretending to be angry.

"Uh...this."

Ma Xiaoshuai opened his mouth in embarrassment, he really wanted to say that Dongfang Xueyu was a woman.

"Okay, then tell me what you can do?"

"Yes, I have."

Seeing Ma Xiaoshuai compromise, Dongfang Xueyu turned her head with a smile on her face, and said mysteriously: "Xueyu is going to start a business, a big one."

Do business? ……Yes indeed!
Ma Xiaoshuai slapped his thigh, and immediately stood up: "Xueyu, business is good, tell me, what do you want to do?"

"Huh?...I haven't thought about this yet."

Dongfang Xueyu smiled a little embarrassedly, and lowered her head.

"Have you thought about it? It's okay, it's okay, let's think about it together."

It seemed that he had found a solution to the matter, and Ma Xiaoshuai was in a better mood. He waved his hands without hesitation, sat down again, and secretly thought about what kind of business to do. In fact, the reason why he agreed with Dongfang Xueyu's idea of ​​doing business before , it was entirely because he thought of his unique and huge advantages, in addition to his advanced insight and knowledge, there was also that mobile phone, that Tang Xiao who was clamoring to establish trade relations with him, this is indeed a fortune that no one else dared to think of. valuable resource.

"Sir, have you thought about it?"

The two fell into contemplation for a long time. Dongfang Xueyu raised her head and looked at Ma Xiaoshuai, frowning tightly, as if she was helpless. For her, business was indeed an area she had never touched before, not to mention whether she could do well in the future. It has always been difficult to choose a career, and even now she is a bit reluctant to retreat.

However, Ma Xiaoshuai finally figured out a way, how can he give up, to be honest, relying on his own unique advantages, there seem to be many businesses that can make money, or as long as he is willing, any business can create huge wealth, and he At this time, what I was thinking about was how to choose a relatively ordinary one under the convenient condition of Tang Xiao's material transmission, but could get rich rewards relatively quickly, and still not let people see the dubious business.

"Have it!"

Ma Xiaoshuai suddenly slapped his thigh, raised his head, his eyes sparkled, startled Dongfang Xueyu who was waiting for his reply, but when he heard that he had figured out a solution, he also became excited and asked anxiously.

"What is it?"

"Tobacco! Tobacco!"

That's right, Ma Xiaoshuai remembered what Murong Junhua said to himself today. Although tobacco exists in this world, it has not appeared in Murong's country so far. Only Ziyu country in the northwest can produce it. Because of the war between the two countries, Once the trade was stagnated, it became even more precious.

But Ma Xiaoshuai knows about tobacco, but it doesn't mean that Dongfang Xueyu knows that tobacco is a shrimp thing.

Sure enough, when Ma Xiaoshuai uttered two cigarettes in a row, Dongfang Xueyu showed doubts as expected.

"Tobacco? What is tobacco?"

"Tobacco is just...a kind of smoke...no, it's a kind of grass...not right either."
